No, Olympic medals are not made of pure gold, silver, or bronze. Gold medals are mostly made of silver with a thin layer of gold plating, while silver medals are typically made of sterling silver. Bronze medals are made of mostly copper with a small amount of tin and zinc.
Olympic gold medals are not pure gold. Instead, they are made up of 92 percent silver, then plated with six grams of gold. Olympic silver medals are also not made out of pure silver. This is because pure silver is too soft for production. Instead, sterling silver, which is a mixture of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper, is used. Pure bronze isn't used in the olympic bronze medals as its color is too similar to gold and could lead to confusion over which medal to present to the athlete. Copper is used in its place.
